When I drive car and it is warm and I shut it off I have to pull fuel pump fuse and try to start and then replace the fuse so that it will stay running, any Ideas???

:00000732: to the forum

Not exactly sure what that may be. Faulty ground, or maybe a fuel pump problem...?

What happens when you try to start it without removing/replacing the fuse? (any noises, almost starts, lights come on; anything/everything)

The more details, the better. :thumbsup:

And welcome! :00000732:

This sounds like a Problem i have with my GT and a problem my mate was having with his LS. Especially at a Petrol Pump.!

Anyway The LS problem was fixed with a Faulty Tempreture Sensor. we discoverd the problem by going to the agents to plug it into there hyundai computer the error came staight up.

I have not fixed my problem, i normily relax in the car for about 2 minutes then she swings first time.

and o Welcome to the Scoupe Family do u have a LS or a GT , post some pics take care

No noises, just floods out, then you take out the fuse, put the excelerator to the floor, turn over the engine, it will then start, it will rev up and start to die ,and then you put back in the fuse quickly and it will stay running.

Very strange? how is the Fuse? 100% are you Sure you haveto take out the Fuse? be patient and try it without the fuse....

Consult your local autoelectrican maybe its a normily problem....

Hi people
I have a '93 S Coupe LS 1.5l. Its sounds like I'm having similar problems. I find it starts ok when its cold, but when it is warmed up and I have only stopped for a little while (15mins or so) it turns over but wont start. Its like it floods itself and I have to wait for it to cool down and eventually it starts with a lot of fuel smell out the back.
Any help would be appreciated. Also where would I find the temp and the air sensors?
Thanks,
Bobbi

ps: lol - haven't tried pulling the fuse as of yet!

check this vid? my car is getting worse and worse , so bad im not allowed at the track anymore... cos i hold up the cue's and cant start the car when on the line......

Have we solved any of these Scoupe Starting Woe's yet?

Im having the exact same problem with my scoupe as you describe. I even found on my own about removing the fuse helps as well. Can anyone please help me? What was the solution to this problem?

Okay so my car went into the shop today, and i had the crank angle sensor replaced and new cap and rotor and plugs.

Im still having the same problem. Does anyone know the solution???

Okay, so in my ongoing quest to get to the bottom of this starting mystery....i have been slowly replacing parts left right and center with no avail. UNTIL today. I have now replaced the:

Rotor/Distributor Cap
Spark plug wire leads
battery ground wire
Crank Angle sensor
spark plugs.....


Now today i replaced the "COOLANT TEMP SENSOR" and my car seems to be fully operational without breakdowns!!!
I warmed up my car and ran the sh*t out of it for at least a hour, then parked it to wait and see if it would start again. FIRST CRANK within a few miliseconds she fired up and was fully operational again. I started it again and drove for another hour to warm it up real good, went into wal-mart for 20 mins and came back and she started first shot again. Im so happy to have my Scoupe on the roads again.

For those of you who experiance this problem/dilemma, of your car crapping out (see my previous posts above to see symptoms), heres my guided instructions on how to repair it and get your car back to normal. I assume no repsonsabilitiy for your repairs. See a mechanic if need be, but even a blind monkey can do this. It took me about 30 mins including the draining of the rad and test driving to complete this.

STEP 1:
Go to the local parts shop and buy 8 liters of premixed universal anti-freeze, and buy a "Coolant Temp Sensor" as well.(make sure you get a SENSOR NOT a SENDER) All This cost me $50 Canadian funds at Part Source.

STEP 2:
Go home and let your engine cool off for a bit. Drain the rad of all sh*t antifreeze(may as well start fresh and give it a good flush). The drain for the rad is on the left hand bottom of the rad(looks like a butterfly wingnut but black and plastic). When drained close the valve again.

STEP 3:
If you follow the rad hose from the top left-hand side of the rad where it meets the rad it will hook into the motor there(this is the thermostat). Look directly below that. You will see 2 wires conneceted to two seperate connections. You will need to unhook both of these to get the sensor out. Now get a wrench and undo the sensor.The sensor you will be removing should be the first one(the one closest to the thermostat on top)

STEP 4:
Install the new sensor and reconnect the wires to the appropriate connections.

STEP 5:
Open the rad resivour and top it up to the fill line, now open the rad and fill it up to the top. Take the car for a quick 10-15 minuite spin and turn off the car. The resivour should be down a little top it back up again.

STEP 6:
ENJOY your fully functional Scoupe to the best of its abilities!!!!


Good luck to all i hope this fixes your cars as it did mine. :)

If someone requests pictures i will take some to show details of where the sensor is located, but you should be able to find it no problem.

PS: this repair was done on a 1993 Hyundai Scoupe LS. Turbo model may differ.

Hey Stone, thanks for all the Work. My Bud had a Scoupe (Base Model) and he had the Same Problem, he Replaced his Temp Sensor and the Problem was Solved for a Few weeks then it was back.

So maybee these Sensor's do **** out every now and then. He went to hyundai and they pluged the computer box thing into his car and checked the Error codes and the temp sensor was saying Something rediculous/impossible.

Im gonna pick one up on the way home, is it a Generic Hyundai/accent/scoupe part?

I replaced my Coolant Sensor with my Thermost about a year ago when i changed radiator so maybee my problem was solved there....

I have talked to a few mechanics about this "scoupe breakdown ghost" and they told me the common things to make a scoupe do that are #1 crank angle sensor #2 leaking fuel injectors that flood the motor #3 coolant temp sensor.

I just bought a OEM part that is made for my scoupe from the local part store. I just asked the guy at the counter for it and got me the correct one.

When the sensor fails, the ECU thinks that the car is overheating and as a failsafe the car wont start because it will prevent damage.


I flushed my rad, because i bought the car used about 6 months ago, and my rad fluid looked horrible. Im glad in the end i decided to flush it because when i got the sensor out the entire tip of the sensor was covered with corrosion. Mine did look like a genuine 1993 Hyundai part however. So i dont think mine had ever been changed and that is why it failed.
